Vich'Khaz

The continent of Vich'Khaz is the tiny grouping of islands high up above all others and approximately in the middle of the rest. It is sparsely populated and very few every go to or leave it. It is populated exclusively by tribes of harpies and is enshrouded in dangerous winds.



Geography
The islands of Vich'Khaz are individually far too small to be considered continents, but grouped together there are estimated over 200 islands ranging from the largest at 1km across to many only a few meters. It is twice as high as the next highest continent and on some days is even above the clouds.

Population
The population of Vich'Khaz is exclusively harpies who live in small tribes. Although their wings cannot performs unnassisted flight, they get around the islands by navigating the strong wings encircling the rock. There is no capitol, nor anything larger than camps, and the population is estimated to be a few hundred at most.

Architecture
The only thing that could be considered architecture on Vich'Khaz would be the occasional tends made from the sparse trees and hides of the few animals across the islands. Most of the population lives in naturals caves systems that criss cross the rocks.

Transportation
Transportation to and from Vich'Khaz is non existant, the constant wind storms surrounding the islands makes approach by all but the biggest airship impossible, and even then docking would be extremely dangerous. Getting between the islands is impossible without some form of flight, with the exception of ones close enough together to try and throw a rope across.

Military
No formal military exists on Vich'Khaz, although all young harpies are trained in combat from a young age. Most carry powerful lances for divebombing outsiders as well as many being very powerful mages. The population won't necessarily attack on site, but they are not friendly to outsiders.

Culture
Very little is known of the culture among the islands. They are known to have a very high aptitude for magic and it can be assumed they known almost nothing of technology. The population seems to stick in tribes of a few dozen.
